Bar Des Pres in City of London, Westminster

We all enjoyed the food very much and the service was very good and efficient They have really good dishes at very reasonable prices We will definitely come back

Excellent service provided by the restaurant staff but the food was nothing special and very small portions for the price

Beef gyoza has extremely hard dough - difficult to chew. The ravioli langoustine was again hard dough than anything else - hardly any langoustine filled inside - the bisque was too creamy. Coffee was terrible - so cheap quality You are better eating at a cheap sushi place than coming here. My experience with Bar des Pres when it just opened was 10x better - it went downhill. Nobody cares

Commençons par l'hôtesse d'accueil. Au premier abord, assez froide, impression confirmée lorsque mon compagnon lui tend les sacs que nous avions avec nous. Un selfridges (printemps/galeries lafayette), pas de soucis pour nous le garder, mais lorsque celui-ci ne porte pas de marque particulières, un recul pour nous le prendre des mains (au moins 2 ou 3 secondes où elle ne savait pas quoi faire...) ça commence bien ! Assis au bar, pourquoi pas ! Nous commandons 3 plats, ainsi qu'une bouteille d'eau. Plats bons, mais les prix sont beaucoup trop excessifs pour ce que c'est !! Parlons du service, qui je précise n'est pas inclus à Londres. Un pourcentage de 15% pris sur la note finale, pour un service INEXISTANT. Des serveurs ou pardon automates nous donnent nos plats avec une amabilité douteuse. Au moment de payer, a peine la carte retirée du TPE que le serveur nous dit "you can go", sans même nous demander si les plats nous ont plu, ou même un "bonne soirée". On s'attend à autre chose dans un restaurant de ce type. De plus, pièce très bruyante, on s'entend à peine parler, et quasiment aucun espace entre les clients. Je ne recommande pas.

Bon repas mais cher rapport qualité prix Surprenant d avoir de la vaisselle ébréchée dans ce genre d établissement Le prix des cocktails et verres de vin est excessifs

Amazing restaurant, we tried several dishes such as the lobster roll, crispy avocado and crab, ottoro sushi, all of them are amazing

MY FRIEND FROM FRANCE WANTED TO GO TO THIS RESTAURENT WHICH I WOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN ABOUT, BUT I ALWAYS LIKE TO TRY SOMEWHERE DIFFERENT, THE FOOD WAS VERY GOOD BUT QUITE EXPENSIVE

Ein offenbar unwilliger Service (eine Ausnahme: der nette Franzose) trifft auf eine sehr gute Balance der Aromen. Oder Service schwach, Küche gut. Bei 150 Pounds pro Person ist das schwach. Im Nachhinein hab ich Google Bewertungen gelesen. Wo Kritik (offensichtlich immer wiederkehrende) mit arroganten Floskeln beantwortet wurde.

Ce restaurant nous a surpris. Tout est délicieux, à des prix normaux. Tout est somptueux, délicieux,… Le service est efficace et très serviable. La tarte aux pommes est délicieuse et son caramel encore plus…. À gouter à tout prix !

Beautiful setting and great food. Try the salmon on crispy rice and other many Japanese fusion with the French touch Great service

Nous avons tout apprécié, l'ambiance,les boissons et les plats. Un régal : originalité, assaisonnement et finesse. Les cocktails parfaits et les vins de qualité. Une soirée des plus agréables !

Absolutely spot on. Such good food and service. It may be french chef/owned, but everything was superb for asian influenced cuisine. Credit to the staff and the chef

Very cosy and comfortable place. I was a little bit surprised about the menu becaus It’s a lot of Asian food and even if I really understand the reason why, I don’t understand why a French chef doesn’t try to do something in French style… . Anyway everything was really delicious but I want to mark that I don’t go to bar des pres for Asian food when I’m London I can find the best Asian place. The cocktail and the desserts were perfect!

Une salle très chaleureuse bien décorée. Une carte proposant une fusion franco-japonaise avec des mets de qualités et très savoureux. Les portions sont correctes pour le prix et en prime: la gentillesse et l'attention du personnel, c'est un 10/10.

Bar très sympa pour un lunch, petits plats pleins de saveurs, belle déco aux couleurs chaudes. Personnel aux petits soins

Terrible experience. PLEASE avoid it at all costs. We were told six times that our table was booked for 90mins and we had to eat within this time, despite the restaurant having many empty seats by the counter and a couple of empty tables. There is an arrogant attitude all around. Better Japanese food in London. This restaurant is just not what they described on their website. By the way, when we complained about a few dishes not being suitable, there were taken away with no hesitation and not re-compensated. Fearful of not hearing about the time frame, we ate fast and left within 1 hour 15min. The whole experience spoilt our evening, plus the food didn't make up for their crass service. DON'T BOTHER WASTING YOUR MONEY ON THIS RESTAURANT

Conosco il ristorante a Parigi e ho voluto portare le mie figlie nello stesso a Londra. Ottimo sushi e servizio perfetto, l’atmosfera è calda e ben frequentata. Tornerò sicuramente.

We are visiting from New York and can recognize great service and fine food . The professional and knowledgeable staff guided us to choose delicious entrees as each component complemented each other . Miso glazed cod with spinach , Asian rice , the service equally matched the fine food . We were welcomed from the beginning and felt special . Thank you so much for making our last stay in London a wonderful experience

We attended a paid for dinner event at Bar Des Pres that was meant to showcase the restaurant. We came away quite underwhelmed it must be said. The evening started at the bar downstairs which was actually very good, the atmosphere was excellent and bar staff also very good. This was the best part of the evening. Upon moving upstairs the thing that struck us most was just how bad the service was at times, with some staff simply being rude. The first wine that was served was undrinkable, but rather than be able to get another glass from a different bottle, I was informed that as its Chenin Blanc I should not expect it to taste like Sauvignon Blanc, to say I was somewhat taken aback is an understatement as I was fully aware what the wine was and wasn't and either way this simply was not how it should be. Interestingly another table who had wine from the same bottle, ordered a different wine and left it also. Things did not really improve from there, from a rushed service, plates cleared before both of us had finished and attitude of the customers really are just getting in the way from multiple staff we ended up leaving much earlier than planned and continued our evening elsewhere. In regards the food, some was excellent but overall for the price point and similar options in Mayfair I would say it was expensive and nothing I would rush to experience again. The bar was by far the best part of the evening and if we had just gone for drinks and eaten elsewhere it would have been the perfect venue. It is a shame as the potential is there, it just needs a serious attitude adjustment!

I am shocked that this place has currently 3,5 stars in reviews as I loved my experience. I would love the return back as loved the ambience, the food and the service as well. The food is definitely at the top and probably the main reason I would be coming back. I came for dinner with friends and we all truly enjoyed it. Thank you.

I loved my time at this restaurant. We came for dinner and arrived a little bit earlier than our reservation, so to wait, we got seated at the downstairs bar for a drink. There was a DJ and the atmosphere was very nice, the drinks original and delicious. When it was time for us to get our table, we went back to the upstairs room which had another nice and chill atmosphere where we got seated at a lovely booth. The food is of Franco-Asian fusion and very well done! Special mention for the pommes dauphine and the chocolate fondant. The only drawback was that the staff was a bit slow in getting our order/attending to us and seemed unexperienced.

Went here for a business lunch. Called the day before to make the reservation and explicitly asked for a table, but when we arrived it turned out we’d be sitting at the counter. Asked if we could be seated at a table, but response was negative. Very disappointing, especially as we had to go through a presentation and it was obviously challenging to do so at the counter vs being seated at a proper table. Didn’t complain as I was with a client, but this is unacceptable at a restaurant of this level. Only reason I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1 is that the food was good.

Situated in the heart of Mayfair, Bar des Prés is a Franco-east Asian restaurant that began life in Paris and is headed up by a celebrity chef Cyril Lignac. This is the first international venture for chef Lignac and is an evolved version of the original Saint-Germain restaurant. Elegant and chic decor, and ambience. Service is attentive, smiley and efficient. Memorable dishes: millefeuille with pecan nut praline/Carb Galette/

Best food in London well done Daniel We enjoyed every single bite there. exceeded our expectations and the desserts were really amazing.

This restaurant is a gem! Such great quality of food. It is served as tapas style, they recommend 5-6 dishes to share between 2 people. Quite expensive but since it’s Mayfair area and the quality of ingredients are great then the price is fair. Lovely for a date night. A great recommendation for anyone looking for a fusion restaurant.

The food is art, every course is a wonderful model of accuracy and good quality and taste, this restaurant is a love song for food and for great quality and service m, don’t miss this wonderful experience in London and sit by the bar, you can see artists in action!

Great evening, beautiful food and ambience. Well looked after by the team there. Well worth a visit.

I went under the impression of having a French Asian Fusion meal. I had a good, not exceptional, Sushi. Aside from some of the hosts being French and some of the desserts being French, the food had zero french cuisine influence. The salon is quite...

The food is good, but the service is rude to the point of absurdity. Told us in the middle of our meal they would need the table back in literally 5 minutes as other customers were waiting. No mention of any time constraints before, no...

Worst service. Incredibly rude manager. Definitely do not recommended taking business clients or dining there for a special occasion because the restaurant will ruin the night even when customers are happy and polite. We agree with everything else said in other negative reviews as we...

Absolutely fantastic food and service. The atmosphere in the restaurant is brilliant. I had the fried prawn sushi and the vanilla mashed potato. Both were great. Also tried some lobster roll which was fresh. Highly recommended place to visit

I came to know about this place through a khlaiji influencer. The food, service and ambience are really good bu the best is the millfiet. It's a pity that's this place is ONLY doing a 3 course meal.

Great night out wit friends, excellent atmosphere and innovative cocktails. We have had such a great time. Thank you.

I had heard a lot about this place. The food is very good to excellent The service is excellent. The young lady who looked after us, Alexandra , was really nice as was the young sommelier and everybody else Decor is OK. Not the best...

My sister family love it and invited me I didn't enjoy it as the timing was almost quiet and we are the only table Good service and quality

6 out of 5 stars! Me and my boyfriend came to celebrate our 3rd anniversary and everything was at the right place. The athmosphere was amazing: cozy and warm. We got a seat at the counter and we ordered couple of drinks, the signature cruncy...

This was a joke. Food was ok, nothing special at all. But the service was so bad it was a joke.😂 You can find a better Japanese in London please, you can do better with your time.

So after reading many reviews I was eager to visit BDP and as many reviews said . The service was below average . Nonetheless the food was amazing , even though it was probably a little over priced .. The toilets were not functioning which...

Started the meal pleasantly, had the crispy rice salmon which was amazing but it was quickly ruined by a manager snapping at a waiter to ‘hurry up’ even though she was serving us and shortly after my colleagues and I overhead the same manager (...

Wonderful food and atmosphere. The service is a bit slow but they make up for it by being very kind and making good recommendations. The desserts are obviously exquisite and the truffle croque monsieur to die for!

we visited bar des pres yesterday for dinner,very good atmosphere,the food was excellent but service was a let down,we have been served by a very rude and arrogant waitress with glasses (cacha) Che was very rude the way Che approached us , Che didn't explain...

My wife and I visited for lunch, my wife made the reservation and spoke to Pamela, whom she said was most pleasant and accommodating. The food was lovely, lots of amazing sushi, beef (delicious) and the deserts were sensational. We also found the price to...

Delicious food and amazing service by Morgane as always! And Margaux knows how to share her passion for wine, it’s a privilege to have her as our sommelier. Thank you for such a memorable night!

Outstanding from start to finish! I got the black cod caramelised with miso and for desert the chouquettes, with vanilla chantilly, chocolate sauce and they were both divine. My daughter got the langoustine ravioli, which was equally as good! Daniel, the manager is worthy of...

Outstanding service and food!!! Staff is highly professional and meal was the best we had in London so far! Keep on the amazing job!⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our first time here, and we were completely disappointed. You better have to go to Le Comptoir Robuchon as you will eat better courses, right quantity and you will be served bread. Glass of wine less than half filled and you have the impression you...

The service was terrible. Spent over 500 pounds and had the waiter chase us out after two hours to kick us out of restaurant for next table!

Although it opened 3 months ago, we discovered Lignac's new location tonight. Table for 3 booking was made easy and welcoming. We had the first oval table on the left when you get in, not very easy for the conversation...that was the only negative. From...

I have been to the restaurant four times. Beautiful food, good service and amazing different food! Crispy rice salmon is cooked to perfection.

Maybe we were expecting too much from our visit, which we were looking forward to. French/Japanese fusion has been around for over a decade, so our expectations were even higher when ordering. Old Square cocktail was excellent. For starters we had the yellowtail & avocado...

Really not sure what the fuss is all about other than its a new opening in london. The food was good but not amazing. The dishes arrived super fast and one got the feeling they were in a rush to move us along . At...

I have been twice now since it opened as I was blown away by the food and atmosphere. The signature cocktails were fabulous (as were the mocktails for the kids. The sushi is fantastic, crispy rice with salmon a must, black cod and steak beyond....

Had a great lunch today at Bar des Pres. Chef Cyril Lignac was in town. Delicious signature cocktails. The menu is of Japanese inspiration. The crab galette is delicious and so is the choturo. The desserts are obviously not to be missed ! I could...

Good welcome and service. Nice atmosphere. Cocktails are gorgeous and nice selection of white wines. Starters were subtiles and fresh (yellowtail tuna, King crab spring roll, salmon, lobster roll): well executed but quite predictable and no “wow” effect. I loved the Scottish salmon on fried...

Visited the Celebrity french Chef Cyril Lignac restaurant today , very pretty , service good and manager looked very well of my table , was expecting more french food , the menu looks like another asiatic / Japanese restaurant , the spring roll was tasteless...
